One would think that the bigger the city, the larger the stress level.

That's apparently not always the case, says a study by CreditDonkey.com, which ranked the 10 most stressful cities in Texas. It based the rankings on criminal activity, traffic, working hours, divorces and cost of living.

"If everything truly is bigger in Texas, then Texans must have their hands full when it comes to stress," the study states. "Texans may not outwardly show it, but stress is just as much a part of their life as a New Yorker's."

Dallas did make the list -- No. 10 -- but it may seem like other big cities, such as Houston, Austin and Fort Worth, would've been included as well. Really, they didn't come close. Instead, smaller, remote cities such as Kyle and Leander, made the list as the state's most stressful.

Killeen, home of Fort Hood, came in at No. 1. which is both good and bad for its residents.

"Because of its close location to the military post, Fort Hood is the city's principal employer and plays a vital role in the community. Residents' proximity to their work has its good and bad points," the study states.
